iPhone 4s, Downgrade to iOS7

Is it possible to downgrade iPhone 4s from iOS 8.1.1 to iOS 7 ?

Upgrading to iOS 8 was a big mistake, it's unstable and very slow for iPhone 4s, it has many bugs, now it's difficult to connect iPhone to car interface, Device now is completely unusable ((

Version 8.1.1 is better than previous 8.x but, doesn't work normally, like iOS7.

I don't know why, but looks like apple made WRONG decision to approve iOS 8 for iPhone 4s series..

No, you cannot revert to a previous/older version of iOS.


Although it's not convenient nor easy (requires reinstalling of all settings/apps/data/music/etc), you might want to try restoring the iPhone as a NEW device, NOT using a previous backup. This will clear out any issues with errant settings and will give you a clean slate.

Because I heard only negative feedback from people, who has upgraded their 4s. But anyway, if your 4s works perfectly, there's should be the way to do something with mine ! Mine is 64Gb, I've upgraded it from latest iOS 7 to first iOS 8 version, then to iOS 8.1(don't remember exactly), then to 8.1.1.

May be I should try to restore phone with clean operating system ? Is it solution ?


PS: sorry for my english..
